Legendary horror filmmaker Wes Craven died earlier today in his Los Angeles home of brain cancer. The 76-year-old director was the iconic man behind the creation of the "A Nightmare on Elm Street" and "Scream" franchises, but he was also a prolific writer, producer and even novelist. Though dabbling in dramas, Craven was always known for his horror work starting with the controversial "The Last House on the Left" in 1972 which he then followed with the original "The Hills Have Eyes" and its sequel along with the comic book adaptation "Swamp Thing". The real breakthrough came in 1984 with the first "A Nightmare on Elm Street" which also launched the career of megastar Johnny Depp.
